One of the neighbors to our HS just put up an un-WEP'ed access point and a few of the pc's in one of the labs can reach it. A normal, non-admin user by default can switch wireless networks and a few of our students have figured that out. I just want to disable the "view available networks" interface so they can't switch it.

[Spam score:8%] You could disable that control panel using group policy. I disable access to all control panels for students. I think there is a way to do it selectively. I wonder if you could add it to the "Don't run specified Windows applications." I've never added a .cpl there.

Does anyone know how to use XP's built in wireless manager, yet make it so normal users can only connect to one SSID? Or to setup the SSID that you want then disable the interface so that no one can switch to another wireless network?
